[Artemisia] Spears

[Tim Brunson]

Lord John,
 
That manual is in the process of being updated. I assure you the maximum spear length for combat in Artemisia is 9 feet. The marshals will not let you take a 10 foot spear into combat in our kingdom. Although ordering a spear shaft that is too long is much more desirable than one that is too short (I can show you how to splice if needed)... =)

Ulric is correct. The Artemisian Marshal's handbook states quite plainly:
III : Armored Combat
F: Weapons Standards for Armored Combat
4. Rattan Spears
d. Total spear length shall not exceed 10 feet (3.0 m).
5. Fiberglass spears
f. Total spear length shall not exceed 10 feet (3.0 m).

BTW, you can grab a copy of most of the Kingdom's "rulebooks" on this page:

:-And I agree, a tall spear in camp to show off a banner and mark
